Man assaults Muslim woman following reports of ‘dark-skinned’ Boston bombing suspect

[AsahinaKimi]

A Muslim woman in Boston says that she was attacked by a white man on on Wednesday morning because he was apparently enraged by the Boston Marathon bombings and convinced, despite a lack of evidence, that the perpetrators were Muslim.

Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, who were both wearing hijabs, were walking on Commercial Street with their children when a white male in his thirties punched her in her left shoulder.

“He was screaming ‘Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!’” she recalled. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.”

“I did not say anything to him,” she added. “Not even that we aren’t terrorists… he was so aggressive.”

sorry if this has been re posted. Sometimes people are so ignorant.

1. And why Obama said to 'not jump to conclusions.' But the Freepers already did and published the name

and address of a Saudi WITNESS who was not a suspect, along with the names of EVERYONE is his entire apartment building for the RWNJs to persecute. Expect to see a lot more, and Asians may have to watch out, since the RWNJs are also busy blaming North Korea.

But if it was or a RWNJ who did it, the cries will be ala AJ, that they are being persecuted against for being good freedom loving patriots. This stuff is so old it should have dried up and blown away years ago. But nooo, the media has to keep exploiting the mental sewers for ratings.

25. Mexicans and other Latinos have reason for concern now as well

We have US Congressmen saying Al Qaeda is now impersonating Latinos and massing at our borders ready for a major assault... When a US Congressman says in a public address that we have to be scared of anyone that looks Latino without any major backlash then this country is not worth defending any longer.

[freshwest]

27. It won't happen and Gohmert's days will be cut short as Latinos react. They're not uninformed.

These last few years with the BS in AZ and those trying to force English-only in Texas towns is backfiring. They are refusing to be labeled and be used as targets - and those with good sense won't even try it.

The majority of Latinos in Texas have been there far longer than the tea(carpet)baggers, inserting themselves into every issue that is none of their business. Those friends I have there of Mexican origin were not fooled by Cruz or won't be fooled by Jorge.

They keep informed and are not at all impoverished or easy to push around. For years they were apolitical, but now see hope with the Castro brothers and the Dream Act.

Although those I know don't support illegal immigration, they support families and being humane and just, and believe in equality. That is something the teabaggers, some of which aren't native Texans, have yet to grasp about them.

And the myth of fake Mexicans has been around for years, and is heavily promoted by AJ and his type. He has claimed that the creation of the entire nation of Mexico was a NWO plot to subvert the USA. Because they're Catholics...

Anyone who buys into any of his stuff, needs to know that he and they are Ron Paul racists. Gohmert is playing to that racist teabagger base of his.

2. I'm so sorry that happened here

Unfortunately we have a share of ignorant and uneducated people.

3. Sorry once again

We are in Berlin and it's 1933 ---

4. Hard Right logic (!) has it covered both ways:

Hard Right logic (!) has it covered both ways:

1) If a muslim is found at fault, then it's those evil muslims.

2) If a white guy is found at fault, then he's just a patsy in an Obama plot.

2a) Obama did it and is covering up.

2b) Obama is covering up for his Saudi muslim pals.

It is just some of the stupefying idiocy they throw back and forth between each other, going round in circles, proving how evil (they believe) Obama is. They are like Daffy Duck and it would be funny except people get hurt.

6. Some times it seems like a very sad

Country we live in where a guy feels justified to put the smack down and assault a woman of a race, he doesn't care for. I visited Boston many years ago and loved the city. It kind of reminded me of San Francisco.. but its far, far from being that now. Not in this day and age.

[freshwest]

14. Got it all in a nutshell. Great circular logic. Never breaks down.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

5. That man could be considered a terrorist.

For assaulting that woman under political auspices.

Might be tried under hate crime laws, too.

[Paladin]

7. How utterly unsurprising. (nt)

[Incitatus]

8. I'm going to go out on a limb here

and suggest this attacker listens to right-wing radio.

[AsahinaKimi]

10. I thought I had heard that

Michael Savage was saying "kill them all" .. I mean, can he really get away with that on public air waves?


here confirmed it..

[freshwest]

15. This is a consistent theme. Michael Reagan called for genocide as well. If a third of Americans

believe the propaganda, that's a 100 million right there. And that hatred is directed primarily at Obama and Democrats.

[AsahinaKimi]

17. Seriously though...

I would have never thought to have ever heard that from an American Radio station. As someone once said, "My how the Mighty have fallen!".

[freshwest]

23. You're pretty young, Asahina, and a positive person. This has been part of America forever.

But they were once kept in their snake pits, hissing away. Now the unregulated media gives them a platform.

I've been outraged about this for years and so have many others. This is now the media face of America. They won't let Obama on television hardly at all, don't report anything that is good being done, instead they promote this libertarian, every man for himself, tribalist dystopia daily.

My sorrow for those who are in the crosshairs of stochastic terrorism is only lifted by living in a diverse area where such are put down harshly by law enforcement. And they call us socialists for doing it.

America is coming to a crossroads between those who want peace and those who want a civil war. This last election was won by those who want the vision of America that Obama has.

I'm sorry that this is frightening to you now, if it is. We love you AK.

[AsahinaKimi]

24. its funny you mentioned

Civil War because it sure seems like its going to happen with the Left against the Right. I have often wondered when the first shoots would be fired... and frankly I am glad I Live in San Francisco, buried in many cultures who, at least in this city, trust and understand one another.

9. Only a matter of time

before the "base" of the republican party decides to take the law into their own hands. Sadly, I'm waiting for the shootings to start.

[octoberlib]

11. I worry about the safety of that Saudi Arabian kid they brought in for

questioning. A journalist on Twitter said that Glenn Beck was spreading false rumors on his radio show today that he was being deported.

[freshwest]

16. The RWNJs have published his name and address and all those that live in his building.

It's in a lower-income area and this puts them all at risk.

[JI7]

12. does he hit himself everytime a white guy goes on a mass shooting ?

we have discussed this many times and even on DU there are people who don't want to face the reality .

[freshwest]

21. I've dealth with white racist nutjobs and they start out first by intimidating all the whites around

them in their areas, like gangs.

Their actions are no different than the gangs composed of minorities that the media serves up to the masses, acting like they are the only ones.

Only difference is skin color. Same criminal actions. So the media gives them a pass.

We don't have honest media in this country, it's owned by rich conservative cranks. The only thing that people will see if what they push.

And right now they are determined to focus on people of color, hopefully of foreign origin, to promote another war for their bosses.

[The Straight Story]

18. Hmmm. What would be the cause of this? Let's see

You take a group (muslims/christians/jews/gun owners/) and vilify them as much as you can day in and out over what the few of that group do over the many.

From radio to tv to message boards you find a group you don't like and spend hours a day finding a way to make them out to be bad, yourself good, and eventually you get a hatred brewing because those who just listen to such things don't want to see any other side to an issue (and when another is presented you call them sympathizers/nuts/etc and don't address the facts).

Catholic church? All molesters and haters. Muslims? They want to kill us all and turn the US into a muslim state ruled by shariah law. The list goes on - but the tactics are the same.

[zappaman]

19. Ugh.

Just UGH...

[lpbk2713]

20. Tough guy.

He wanted Limbaugh to be proud of him.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Yeah, it's so brave of him to pick on a woman.

I'd like to see how brave he would be if he came upon a man that he knew was Muslim. What an asshole. Coward!

[pinboy3niner]

22. Maybe the haters should just dial it the fuck back a bit...

[CakeGrrl]

26. She should sue John King and CNN. -nt
